1 minute Have Racing Post made a mistake by napping a 33/1 shot in the Boodles Juvenile Hurdle?
We are all looking for that extra edge in our betting when it comes to the Cheltenham Festival and with tips flying around everywhere it's hard to settle on something. However, when you get one of the leading racing media outlets in the form of the Racing Post, never mind the horse's ears prick up, yours should do too.
The 4:50 Boodles Juvenile Handicap Hurdle is probably the most competitive race of the day so any racing tips in this race will be decent value at the very least.
However a 33/1 NAP selection!?
This bold selection comes in the form of the Denis Gerard Hogan-trained BRIGHT LEGEND.
Racing Post stated:
"The suggestion is the improving BRIGHT LEGEND (nap) who wasn't seen to best effect last time. Milan Tino is temptingly treated."
Bright Legend has decent form coming into this race and seems competitive at this level. However, being so lightly raced there are no indications to suggest getting a NAP status on the first day of the Cheltenham Festival. But, if anybody knows, the team at the Racing Post do.
Bright Legend is now 20/1 and as short as 16/1 with some bookmakers. Will it be backed further or will common sense prevail, we will soon see.
